Tangledeep

Released: 1/31/2019

Tangledeep combines the 16-bit graphics and polish of classic SNES-era RPGs with elements from roguelikes and dungeon crawlers to create a magical experience for players of all skill levels. Trapped in underground villages with no memory of the world at the surface, you must survive an ever-changing labyrinth to discover what lies above. Experience rich, tactical, turn-based gameplay as you explore a sprawling dungeon that’s different each time you play. Tangledeep features a customizable job system and hundreds of collectible items that allow you to approach each playthrough in a totally new way! THE SETTING For hundreds of years, people have lived in the safety of underground settlements and villages – where the only route to the surface is “Tangledeep,” a mysterious and ever-changing labyrinth. With memories of the surface world long forgotten, you set out for the labyrinth to discover what lies above. With each floor – full of magical beasts, ancient automatons, bizarre environments and hybrid biomes – the mystery grows ever deeper… KEY FEATURES Experience finely-tuned, procedurally-generated and handcrafted gameplay as you fight challenging monsters, complete quests, and collect rare items. Master deep, tactical turn-based combat across 12 unique jobs with over 100 skills. Choose between three game modes – including Adventure Mode, which removes the pain of permadeath. Capture nearly any monster in the game and raise them in the Monster Corral as a pet, or breed them with other monsters! Share some of your progress between characters by using the banking system and planting magic trees Explore ITEM DREAMS, randomized mini-dungeons where anything goes, and power up your gear! Take in the scenery – comprised of beautiful 16-bit graphics and carefully handcrafted maps! Relax to a beautiful soundtrack inspired by the most legendary RPGs of the SNES era, composed by award-winning composer Andrew Aversa – joined by Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana), Grant Kirkhope (GoldenEye 007, Civilization: Beyond Earth), and Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid 3, Bayonetta)
